Atlas ATS Introduces 60-Second Price Protection for Bitcoin Traders

Cryptocurrency exchange Atlas ATS has introduced a new feature that allows users to lock in quoted bitcoin prices for up to 60 seconds before executing a trade.
Called its ‘Price Lock Guarantee’, the latest feature from Atlas ATS is aimed at enticing payment processors, ATM operators and merchants who accept bitcoin to use the platform as a way to hedge against short-term volatility in the market.
Atlas ATS CEO Shawn Sloves framed the service as one that helps these market segments better utilize bitcoin as a payment network, while guarding against short-term losses that could occur due to bitcoin’s sometimes rapid fluctuations in value against government-backed alternatives.
